Tess: we talked about closin this and I agreed to write a closing comment. Comment almost done. If we all agree then I'l close.
Tess: to re-cap, this is a develoeper ergonomics win. The old values required developers to do math and the new values skip that step and are directly useful to apps such as painting apps where you need to know the orientation of the stylus to do certain effects.
resolved to close

Saluton TAG!
I'm requesting a TAG review of Pointer Events Azimuth Angle and Altitude Angle.
Currently Pointer Events captures pen inclination by using tiltX (tiltX) and tiltY (tiltY) angles - angles measured from two axes. This proposal is to add altitude and azimuth angles to Pointer Events and to allow user agents to transform from one set of digital pen inclination coordinates to the other automatically thus making both pairs of angles available to developers at the same time.
Further details:
We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please delete all but the desired option): ☂️ open a single issue in our GitHub repo for the entire review
